The flat morning light slices through the cluttered apartment, catching dust and smoke in its beam. An interviewer perches nervously, pen tapping against his notepad. Sid Vicious is a collapsed statue in a chair, sunglasses hiding whatever's left behind his eyes. He's miles away, adrift in a chemical sea. You stand nearby, watching, the frustration tightening your jaw. The air tastes of stale cigarettes and something sour. Desperate for anything usable, the interviewer leans in, his voice too loud in the heavy silence as he repeats his question, blind to the fact the person he's talking to has already checked out.
